We don't give a lot of friendlies. I have to ask if this happens very often. Do teams drop after confirming they're coming? After receiving the schedule? Even when the teams are posted on Heybucket so there are
no surprises?
Now I don't mind when a team tells me when I ask them to confirm that they can't come. But after that, it's just rude.
This weekend it might rain, but that's not the point. Courtesy is. Does this happen all the time? I would like to hear about others experience and if there are any solutions to the problem. When we first got into travel 17 years ago, this rarely happened. This seems to be a trend now.
I've seen teams leave one friendly that we were playing in, Giving an
excuse only to see them on a list or play a sister team in another friendly. I always felt bad for the host when that happened.
Is this an acceptable practice to everyone now?
